Dr. James Baird, MD

Dr. Baird diagnosed my breast cancer & led my treatment at Kelsey-Seybold. Based solely upon the ultrasound of my tumor & my lymph nodes, he recommended that I have reconstruction surgery at the same time he performed my mastectomy. He failed to warn me of the possibility of exactly what happened: he removed sentinel lymph where cancer cells were found 1 month later. Thanks to his failure, I had to receive radiation therapy of the reconstructed breast flesh, damaging it & wasting my money. I learned from my new physician that prudent breast cancer surgeons will not perform the 2 surgeries together but rather wait until after analysis of the sentinel lymph nodes BEFORE performing reconstruction. When I complained to the clinic, I was told this was his standard of care & that Dr. Baird claimed he had told me the risks. I hired Dr. Baird expecting him to truly be an experienced expert, not someone who evades responsibility by blaming the patient for lousy outcomes.

Great experience with this surgeon and his practice. Very kind and was able to ease my mind.

Conscientious, good bed-side manner, patient with all questions. Answers questions well. Excellent surgeon! 3 surgeries with excellent outcomes each time.
